The BLM is so farking incompetent. They easily could have solved the problem long ago by gelding stallions and giving mares birth control. Instead they've dicked around for years cramming excess horses into tiny pens.

I wanted a pony as a child. I still want a pony. When I'm bored, I doodle horses. I rode horses from walking age until college. I would also eat horse, if it meant the overall population were healthier in the end.

TuteTibiImperes:naughtyrev: If people in this country would just get over their "but I wanted a pony when I was a kid!" attitude and start eating horse, this wouldn't be a problem.

This. Horse meat is supposedly very tasty. The French eat it, and I think that their judgement should be trusted in all matters culinary.

I'm curious what the issue is with eating horse meat? Wiki didn't give me a good understanding, just explaining its taboo, and even illegal in some places. Is it merely because we consider them "pets"?

Part of it I think is a lack of USDA regulation on it, but that's due to a lack of market interest, which comes down to how some people feel about horses.

I've never thought of horses as pets, they're work animals or livestock. I can understand the revulsion from a pet POV, I'm in no way interested in ever eating dog, and I think it's a pretty awful thing to do, but I have no particular affection for horses.

They're work animals. You don't eat your work animals.

What, are you Hindu?

I had horse, unknowingly, in Basque country. After that, I had it knowingly. Not deluded by anthropomorphism.

That's good. I hate horses. I hate the way that they stare at you sideways with their huge, squishy looking eyeball and always try to touch you with their gross, floppy lips. I spend actual time and energy hating horses. I'd punch a horse right in its stupid face if one was here right now.

Gotcha. I guess I'm in the same boat- I could never eat dog... but I just never thought the same about horses. (And my mother in law has a miniature horse.)

I thought one reason we didn't eat horse meat is because most of the work/show horses are chock full of antibiotics and other unpleasant drugs. Not that cows are that different...

The problem is: America romanticizes the horse, because of the West. They were our ancestors' loyal companions, and they helped the spread of our nation, and as a result we are more than a little attached to the horse. The French are still passed about Agencourt, so they willingly eat their horses.For America: we let them loose, and we have this kind of delusion about them being native and natural, and part of the west.
